18 After Jacob got up early in the morning, he took the stone that he had put near his head, set it up as a sacred pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
19 He named that sacred place Bethel, though Luz was the city’s original name.
20 Jacob made a solemn promise: "If God is with me and protects me on this trip I’m taking, and gives me bread to eat and clothes to wear,
21 and I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God.
22 This stone that I’ve set up as a sacred pillar will be God’s house, and of everything you give me I will give a tenth back to you."
